👨💻 About Me
I am currently working at blibli.com as a Native Android Developer with over 3 years of hands-on experience. My journey in tech began with a passion for solving complex problems, which naturally led me to explore the world of mobile technology—particularly Android, Kotlin, and Firebase.
At Blibli, I work across critical mobile infrastructure and contribute to Android experiences that serve thousands of users within a robust omnichannel commerce ecosystem. My work includes developing native features, integrating Firebase Cloud services, and optimizing app performance in production-level environments.

🌊 Beyond Engineering
When I'm not building for the mobile ecosystem or leading community meetups, I explore the depths of the ocean. I am a certified Scuba Diver, a pursuit that has taught me as much about focus, discipline, and environmental awareness as it has about the world beneath the waves. Exploring marine life and mastering underwater navigation is my way of staying curious and connected to the world beyond the screen.
